Hey! I am so happy to be out of school for 2 ½ months! Yay! More time to write FanFictions for you fellow readers! I just posted a new chapter of "A Mistake" this morning, and now of course I am writing another chapter of Beastly, of which 16 people have followed! I thank you guys for that! So, on with the story!

Chapter 2 – Nina's POV

"Miss, are you alright?"

I was still lying in the alley, where had Jerome kicked me and such. I nodded slightly, and saw that the man was offering me a hand. I took it, and quickly stood up. I wobbled a bit, but finally gained my balance. I thanked him, grabbed my damaged library books, and started walking back to Anubis.

I couldn't believe what had happened. I didn't think Jerome would ever do such a thing, to anyone. I don't really know much about him, even though we talked, but still. I shuddered, and continued walking. I really wished I wasn't alone now.

And I wish I could tell someone…

But Jerome promised me if I told a living soul about this, he would kill me, and to make it worse, not even care.

I began to cry as I walked back, and by the time I was at the door, I was sobbing. And I couldn't stop either. How could I? I was in complete denial. He kissed me, and went down my shirt… Just the thought of it made me burst into more tears.

The door was soon unlocked, and tried to stop my tears more. It wasn't a possible task, they weren't going to stop.

And that's when the door opened, and I saw Jerome, with a big smirk on his face, and his arms crossed.

I heard a scream, but never realized it was coming from me. Jerome continued to smirk, until Amber ran over, looking at us both with curious eyes.

"Nina, what's wrong? I just opened the door for you, sheez." Jerome asked smoothly, after I shut my mouth. Tears had started falling down my face all over again, and I was starting to tremble. Jerome chuckled almost inaudibly, and moved from the door.

Amber shot a dirty look at him, and he sent one back. Amber just groaned and rolled her eyes, and stared at him after.

"You obviously upset her somehow Jerome, just go." Amber breathed.

Jerome then rolled his own eyes, and went to his room.

"What did he do Nina?" Amber asked, moving so I could walk in. I slowly walked in, and the door closed behind me, by itself. I jumped slightly.

I had no idea what to say, since I couldn't say the truth. I really just wanted Fabian…

And as if Amber read my mind, she ran out of the room and banged on Fabian's door, which made me smile slightly, but only for a second. I sat on the couch, sobbing as much as before.

I heard Fabian's door open, and he whispered "What Ambs, kind of busy, we got a big test tomorrow!"

But he must have heard me crying, because before I knew it, he was sitting next to me, holding me close.

"Nina, what happened?" Fabian asked softly, concern filling his voice. Knowing I couldn't tell him made it worse, and I looked away, continuing to sob. He frowned slightly, and held me tighter. I'm surprised it didn't bother me, but in fact helped a little. I felt… Protected.

"Shh… You're okay Nina… You're okay…" Fabian whispered, keeping me close. "Does this have to do with Jerome? Amber said you screamed when he opened the door…"

I had no idea what to say. What could I say? If I said yes, Fabian would go right to him, demanding to know. But Jerome could lie… But he would have known I said something. Then I would be toast.

"I-"

"Okay, so Alfie, we totally should prank Joy next. It would be so funny to see her with purple hair, or neon yellow…" Jerome laughed, walking back into the room, along with Alfie. Discussing plans out in the open, that didn't sound smart.

Fabian looked away from me, and looked at the two of them. They looked at him strangely, and went into the kitchen.

Jerome looked at me, and gave me a nasty look.

"No remorse." He mouthed, reminding me of the promise he made, which made me start crying all over again. I looked away. Jerome quickly had turned away, going back to his conversation with Alfie.

"Neens..." Fabian put his arm around me, and held me close once more.

And maybe an hour or so after, I fell asleep, snuggled next to him.
